Hi,
The top hook on the door is not disengaging and it isn't possible to get any room to lever the door away from the frame to try to push the hook upwards.
I thought it would be simple to unscrew the handle cover and hook the operating rod down but the top screw on the cover just turns around.
Now looking at grinding the screw head off to take the door plate off, probably snapping off the lock retaining screw a la demos on Youtube then hooking down the rod and replacing the lock.
Any advice or comments welcomed before I start!.
